| Obverse description | Crowned royal bust facing left, rendered in the schematic style characteristic of medieval Catalan hammered coinage. The effigy is enclosed within an inner beaded circle, with the circular Latin legend occupying the annular field between the inner and outer beaded borders. The crown is depicted with prominent points above the monarch's head, and the facial features are rendered in a bold, stylized manner typical of 13th–14th century Iberian deniers. |

| Reverse description | A long cross extending to the inner beaded circle divides the reverse field into four quarters, with the Latin legend interrupted by the cross arms. An annulet appears in the second and third quarters, while three bezants are arranged in the first and fourth quarters. The entire composition is contained within concentric beaded circles, with the circular legend occupying the annular field between them, in a layout consistent with contemporary Barcelonese billon coinage. |
